Go Ahead Eagles - Excelsior predictions

With the 1.80 being what they are, we don’t expect anything other than a home win. Pulling off anything else would be a gargantuan task for Excelsior, so we’d stay away unless you’re looking for a long shot on purpose.

Excelsior will have little to hope for in this match. 3.95 betting odds on them winning paint a pretty clear picture and from this standpoint there is little doubt in regard to the outcome of this clash.

Go Ahead Eagles’s latest Eredivisie outing at PSV did not go their way, though it can’t be used to accurately represent their form. They were fighting an uphill battle as visitors against the much stronger side, who took an early lead and secured a 2:1 victory.

Excelsior last played a home game as part of the Eredivisie, but they still had their work cut out for them considering the 3.45 betting odds. They quickly took the lead, though, and went on to secure a narrow but convincing $RESULT victory.

The hosts will be looking to cut down on the number of goals they concede. They’ve recorded more than 5 total concessions over the last 3 matches, which is usually a cause for concern.

Go Ahead Eagles could have certainly had a better start to the season, but there’s thankfully plenty of time to make it up. The first thing to do is move up from number 12th on the table by securing 3 points in this favourable matchup.

Earning any points in this matchup will be quite difficult for Excelsior. Most online bookmakers consider them clear underdogs, with prices for an away win sitting at 3.95. However, they’ll definitely want to try their best and put some more distance between them and the relegation zone before it’s too late.

Sunday's matchup will feature both teams at full strength, allowing for a fair and competitive game.

We can say with no small amount of confidence that this match will confirm the Over 2.5 Goals market. Both teams fit the bill for such a wager perfectly, so this is a very safe bet, offered at the odds of 1.50 at Betway.
